@☬ XiaoJun ᵉˡᵛᶦˢʰ ᵏⁿᶦᵍʰᵗ Hendery returned the others smile, looking at him, it seemed as the other had barely aged, but that smiled seemed to be the same as always, the smile that to be honest, brought him close to the other. “Oh, my apologies sir” Hendery said rather teasingly with a slight bow, but he couldn’t help but chuckle at the end. “Thank you, and you weren’t that far away from me, you were int he top 5 after all. Yeah, the kingdoms separations was really tragic to say the least, many were separated as well” he sighed softly with a shake of his head, as he watched the other call back his horse. “ are you one of those that meet in secret XiaoJun? Hmm I see..always so kind. Well, we were just taking a stroll around, and notice someone, and then I of course recognized you. Hard not to”. He laughed out softly with a small shrug, his attention going to the horse that had obediently come back. “Wow, i see you’ve trained your horse very well, so obedient.” He mentioned as random thought. “So, what have you been up to? Besides..serving your king of course”

@☪ Hendery ᶠᵃᵉʳᶦᵉ ᵏⁿᶦᵍʰᵗ Xiaojun couldn't help but smile when he saw his friend whom he hadn't seen in years, they were no longer teens now they stood in front of each other as adults "You should know better than to startle a knight Hendery. But you were always one of the best in our class" he sheathed his sword and whistled to call his horse back to him "I haven't seen you in years, especially since the kingdoms are separated currently, but hopefully soon they'll reunite. Many people meet in secret in the golden realms. I was on my way back from collecting supplies for my prince, I stopped so my horse could rest. Why have you stopped here?" he questioned curiously

@☬ XiaoJun ᵉˡᵛᶦˢʰ ᵏⁿᶦᵍʰᵗ Hendery, pulled on the reigns of his black horse, Cerberus, to slow down, as they strolled through the small forest, it was one of their regular strolls, to distract himself, and get himself away from everything. As they got out of the forest, he noticed someone by the river, not knowing who it was he directed his horse to stroll behind the trees as they walked along the river, stopping once they were right behind the other. A knowing grin formed on Hendery’s lips at finding out who it was, he could never forget him. Jumping off his horse, and tying the registers loose around a tree, he made a quiet noise to his horse, as he took quiet steps and made his way towards the unsuspecting male. His hand hovering over his sword, knowing the other gave him an idea of how he will react. In a flash, Hendery unsheathed his sword, as it made contact with the others sword, defending himself form the attack, a pleased grin formed on his lips when other called his name, as he pushed on the sword to lower them for both Of them. “Glad to see you too, XiaoJun” He chuckled out as he placed his sword back in its scabbard. “Is that how you greet an old friend?” He asked looking up at the other as he took a. Step forward.

@☪ Hendery ᶠᵃᵉʳᶦᵉ ᵏⁿᶦᵍʰᵗ XiaoJun dismounted from his horse, Damiris, and led her by her reins down to the river, giving her the chance to rest for a while. He ran his fingers through her long mane and fed her a carrot with a warm smile on his face "Good girl" he said softly to the horse and then bent down to cup some of the river water into his hand before finally drinking it, his eyes widening when he saw the reflection of a knight from another kingdom standing behind him, he unsheathed his sword and jumped up quickly, turning around to stun the person with his sword only to have his sword hit the others, the loud clang of their blades clashing heard around them, startling Damaris and causing her to run off. It was then that he realized who this person was "Hendery?" he asked in disbelief "Is it really you?"

@☬ Renjun ᵉˡᵛᶦˢʰ ᵖʳᶦⁿᶜᵉ sighs heavily, using my bit of freetime as a time i use to make my way down to the river, quickly finding a spot to sit near it and leaning forward, watching the water calmly in thought; i don't pay much attention to the others around until i see you, my gaze lifting and face becoming a bit warmer as i can't find it in me to look away

@☪ Jisung ᶠᵃᵉʳᶦᵉ ʲᵉˢᵗᵉʳ /walks down by the river, staring out at the water with a soft sigh. It has been a long day, sorting through the needs of the people and making sure everything in the company was running smoothly. There was so many royals and it exhausted me. Being near the river helped clear my mind. It was nice and calming
